Slow wireless download speed EX7000

Slow wireless download speed EX7000

I have 1gig down speed from suddenlink.

I have modem plugged into R6300v2 as my main dhcp router.

Then out of the R6300v2 to a EX7000 AC1900 extender configured as an access point.

I only have 5ghz channel enabled on the extender.

Using AES encryption.

I only get 320mbps down speed.

What is causing this?

No matter what I try I cant exceed this down speed via wireless.

I am using a LGG6 phone to do the testing wirelessly and ookla speed test app.

Is this a limitation of my phone or the EX7000?

 

Thank you!

Is this due to the Wan to Lan speeds capable for the R6300v2? Is it bottle necking the 1 gig isp service?

By the way I have a CM700 modem so I doubt that the bottleneck is coming from that.

Does the phone get a faster speed on the R6300? also anytime your extend a network via a wireless extender you are going to see some speed loss since its not using a dedicated band.
